Here's my 2001 Saturn L300 - really loved it for the first several years I owned it, but the insides are starting to tear up a bit...my next car will be either a Nissan Altima (really love the design) or Toyota Solara :)

I particularly like this image, as I'm in New Orleans, so snow on the car is about as rare as Steve using a PC ;)
I live about an hour away and right now my wallpaper is my house covered in a foot of snow. On topic I don' have any pics but I am either going to get my mom's 2000 BMW X5, my dad's 2004 F-150 FX4, or something not overly expensive.

I thought the 370z was really ugly when it first came out, but it has really grown on me.

I still don't like them. But, I'm stuck in the 90s. There are very few cars that I like today.

Interesting how it only took Nissan about a decade to finally make a Z as fast/faster than the old TTs. ;) At least they did something about it. Mazda still has the rotary's tail between it's legs and Toyota...well...they are too busy selling SUVs to worry about the next Supra. :p

I'm with you. I would much prefer a fairlday 300zx over the new Z cars..Though I do like the look of the 370z over the 350. The refinements in the overall style are much nicer, and remind me of the classic fair ladies.
Really I would like to own a restored 280z:D

Plenty of tuning potential with the 350Z's engine

I wouldn't say plenty. At least not without paying a pretty penny. That's the reason I went with the 135i over the 370z. For as little as $700 you can gain almost 100hp and 100 ft.lb of torque. Gotta love the potential of turbo cars.

Well, there is. Turbo and super charger kits have become more commonly available, but as you say, they do cost a pretty penny. Turbo for easy horses, so if you've got a turbo already...

It's not S-line, I really want those. The differentiating marks between the S-Line and regular is the more aggressive dual sill instead of the plain three lines across the fog-light cover (and chrome ring around it), and the grey coloured lower splitter. Both of which are too dark to see here. LOL. That's probably why this car looked better than normal on this photo. :p

speaking of the 135i - here's my toy. I've always enjoyed turbo cars and this one has to be my funnest one yet. twin turbos = double the fun. I love it when Mustangs pull up next to me. they think they have something for me but that's where the heartbreaking starts. lol

Gorgeous. If I ever get a BMW, it'd be a 135i or an M3. I hope they make an M1.
A 135i M will never be called an M1. If BMW ever does an M1 again it will be an exotic.

But sadly BMW is occupied with filling every other niche it can find with crap like the X6, X5 M, X6 M, and now a 5 series GT. They have lost their way. At least the M3 is still a great car, and they are racing it successfully.

I've heard they are going to make a 4 door version of the 3 series coupe and then come out with a 2 door version of that car. :rolleyes:
